The Targaryen Hybrid

Informing the King

It had been a week since Daenys was born, and Rhaenyra was ready to inform her father about her daughters dragon features. It was hard preventing the maids from seeing, as they tried many times to take the babe to be washed only for Rhaenyra to should at them to leave and that she was capable of doing it herself.

Moments passed, and Rhaenyra started to get nervous thinking what her father the King would think of her daughter. Will he love her? Will he think she needs to be put in the dragon pit with the full dragons out of sight? Will he see her differently because of this?

Her train of thinking was interrupted by a knock on the door to her chamber. Taking a deep breath, she slowly walks to the door and opens it to reveal her father, but he is not alone. The Queen and Knight are with him.

"Come in." Rhaenyra sighs as she knows that she won't be able to hide it from them as it will come out after she tells her father. So she ignored their presents and closed the door as they came in.

"My dear girl, what is it?" The King asked in worry. "Is the babe ok? Are you ok?"

"Yes, yes, we are ok." Rhaenyra said, making her way to her resting daughter and picking her up, with her back still turned to them as she slowly took the blanket off her baby. "You will need to sit down for this..... All of you."

"Rhae." The king started to say but was interrupted by Rhaenyra.

"Please just sit. You need to see something." She said softly but sharp to get her point across.

And with that, the three walked over to the chairs that sat in the middle of the room.

"Right, she doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements. So please try not to do that." Rhaenyra said firmly as she doesn't want her child to be upset.

"Rhaenyra...." The king started again but stopped as she turned around, showing baby Daenys' back with the wings relaxed, and she was still asleep in her mother's warm embrace.

Three sharp gasps were heard from the three on the chairs as they stared at the wings on her back, but they had woken her from her peaceful slumber with a startle, causing her to start to cry. But the cry sounded like a mix of a baby's cry and a baby dragons, causing Rhaenyra to quickly comfort her and rewrap her in the blanket she was in and hold her close as she looked at her father ignoring the two.

"Dragonborn," He whispered to himself more than anything while looking to his granddaughter in aw as he stood up and walked slowly to Rhaenyra to try comfort his granddaughter and daughter.

Rhaenyra looked worried, waiting for him to say something, but he just got up and walked over to her. Which made her hold her daughter closer to her chest. Only to relax with his words.

"My dear girl, she is a true blessing." He said softly. "May I hold her?"

Rhaenyra smiled and looked at Daenys, which still fussed a bit and started to hand her to the king. She whispered. "Her eyes."

The king confused looked down to be met with dragon eyes, one red and one violet.

"Oh, hello there, little dragon." The king whispered in high valyrian. Earning a chirp and a pur from the new princess causing him to smile. "Well, aren't you a beautiful little one."

A few moments went by with the king holding his granddaughter looking at her with so much love. The Queen walked over being followed by her Knight, and looked at the princess. Both looked at the babe in aw and love. Well, Criston looked at her with more love still believing she was his daughter.

Daenys started to fuss because she was hungry, so the king handed her back, and the queen to call for the wetnurse only to be stopped by Rhaenyra.

"I feed her myself."

And with that, they start to leave but not before the king kisses the head of his daughter and granddaughter.

"You have given me the best gift anyone could ask for." The king whispered before turning around and leaving. Both are missing the longing look Criston sent to the new princess.

"Maybe we can introduce our children to her sometime soon?" The queen asked the king who nodded in agreement with a smile.
